Oooh, I was going to post this.
Can you imagine? Every where you turn there might be a lion or a tiger or a bear.
I remember when I read The Life of Pi and the author talked about how there are way more "wild" non-native creatures running around than we would think. Escapes happen. I always wondered how anything could escape from a large zoo, but I hadn't thought about these kinds of places.
So they're shooting animals left and right, due to someone's need to have a bunch of wild animals in their possession.
I bet the lions, tigers, cheetahs, wolves, giraffes, camels, and bears would have rather just stayed in their own environment.
It's really sad. I do wonder if there was a coup or if the owner died from some other cause. Go animals GO.
